I’m very happy to announce another addition to the Microsoft Bounty Programs. Microsoft will be hosting a bounty for Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities in Microsoft Edge on Windows Insider Preview builds.

This bounty continues our partnership with the security research community in working to secure our platforms, in pre-release stages of the development process. The Windows Insider program is built to help shape the future of Windows, and represents the latest in features, including new security features and mitigations. For the latest information on new Windows features included in the Insider Previews, please visit the Windows 10 Insider Program Blog.

As the bounty programs are pushing forward into earlier releases of software, there may be more instances of a vulnerability being reported which Microsoft is already working to resolve. In the event this occurs, as recognition for the real effort put into finding these vulnerabilities, a payment of up to $1,500 USD will be made to the first external researcher who reports the issue.
